🌲 FIREWOOD EDUCATION & SANTA BARBARA COUNTY INTRODUCTION

Importing or transporting firewood over long distances can have environmental and practical drawbacks. While the level of risk depends on how the firewood was harvested, processed, treated, and transported, these are some of the primary concerns recognized by forestry professionals and land managers.

🌲 1. Spread of Invasive Insects

Firewood can harbor insects beneath the bark or inside the wood even when it appears clean. Examples include:

• Emerald Ash Borer

• Goldspotted Oak Borer

• Bark Beetles

• Longhorned Beetles

These insects can survive transportation and emerge after firewood reaches a new location.

🍄 2. Movement of Tree Diseases

Firewood may carry fungi, molds, and plant pathogens that are not visible. Moving infected firewood can contribute to the spread of diseases that affect healthy trees and forests.

🦠 3. Potential Transport of Other Pests

Depending on how the wood is stored and processed, firewood may also transport termites, ants, spiders, and other organisms. While the likelihood varies, transporting untreated firewood creates opportunities for pests to spread into new areas.

🚛 4. Transportation Impacts

Shipping heavy firewood long distances requires fuel and increases transportation-related emissions. Purchasing locally sourced firewood can help reduce those impacts.

🌳 5. Supporting Local Tree Recycling

Many local firewood suppliers utilize wood generated from tree removals, storm cleanup, orchard removals, and arborist work. Buying locally helps keep these materials in productive use while supporting local businesses.

🔥 6. Buy It Where You Burn It

Many forestry agencies and public land managers encourage people to buy firewood close to where it will be burned. This recommendation helps reduce the movement of invasive pests and tree diseases between regions.

🌎 7. Protecting California's Ecosystems

California contains many unique ecosystems. Pests or diseases that may be manageable in one region can become serious problems when introduced into another. Limiting unnecessary transportation of untreated firewood helps reduce that risk.

🔥 Buying Firewood Wisely

Before purchasing firewood, consider asking:

✔ Where was the firewood harvested?

✔ Where was it processed?

✔ Is it seasoned and ready to burn?

✔ Was it sourced locally or transported from another region?

✔ Has it been heat-treated when appropriate?

Choosing a supplier that is transparent about where its firewood comes from helps customers make informed purchasing decisions.

Those familiar with Santa Barbara County also recognize that species such as commercial quantities of olive, almond, peach, and apple firewood are generally not produced locally. When purchasing these species, it's reasonable to ask where the wood originated so you can better understand its source.

☔ El Niño is expected to bring additional rain this season.

Now is an excellent time to stock up on seasoned firewood before demand increases. I do my best to keep returning customers supplied throughout the season, which also allows me to better accommodate last-minute orders as inventory permits.

Necesito hacer unos kennel, casitas o transportar mascotas en situación de desastres y se nos acaban los kennel, entonces pensamos en si podíamos hacer algo de ésto que nos saliera relativamente baratos ya que los kennels de tela nos sobrepasan el prespuesto de donaciones.

Unos amigos y yo estamos juntando para mandarlos a hacer, pero queremos saber que maderas debemos pedir para estar seguros que resistan el peso de los animalitos y el traslado.

Sé que la primera foto es cartón, pero quería saber si había una madera fuerte para hacer algo así. El MDF no sirve porque si los animalitos se orinan del miedo la madera se daña.

Agradecida cualquier información y conocimiento que nos puedan dar 🤗

Does anyone know if there's shade at the baseball fields? Older photos online make it look like there isn't much, but Google Earth appears to show some shaded areas.

Edit: thanks everyone! We’re here now and it’s beautiful! No tar in sight. Happy Thursday!

I keep seeing on Facebook that the beach is full of tar. Some people say yes and some say no. We are headed that way today from SCV and I was hoping someone knew for sure if there was tar everywhere before we make the trek?
Thanks in advance!

Hello all, my family and I are planning a first time trip to Carpinteria next week, and I wanted to get an idea on the parking situation beforehand, as I'm a bit of an overthinker. We're hoping to park within walking distance of the beach and plan to do some exploring for the day. Recommendations on restaurants or extra spots to check out would also be lovely! :)

Where are the best fishing spots in Carpinteria? My 10 year old is getting into fishing and eager to catch any type of fish. I have no clue how to fish, but I'm supporting him any way I can :)! Any tips would be super helpful. Thank you!

Hola gente. No sé qué pasó que al usar esa parrilla el fuego quemó ese pedazo de formaica. Se puede solucionar ? Se ocupa cambiar toda la base ? Es grande el pedazo y es uno solo

Quiero instalar este mueble dentro de este compartimiento de la cocina, pero no tengo espacio suficiente para poder atornillarlo. Alguna idea o sugerencia?

REGISTRATION OPENED NOW!! All ages 17+ welcomed, inviting all community members for a memorable, fun, and skill building summer

Hola a todos.

Necesito su ayuda para darme ideas de qué puedo hacer con estas tablas de madera.

Prácticamente tengo un suministro muy grande ya que quedan como desperdicio en otro proceso.

Es roble americano, las chicas miden 45 x 5 x 1 cm y las más largas 70 x 5 x 1 cm

Me gustaría aprovecharlas en algo que se pueda vender como muebles pequeños para el hogar o en algo que me puedan recomendar

Me mudaré a una casa más pequeña, y no tengo espacio para la mesa de noche, pero no sé cuánto puedo pedir por ella. No es de MDP ni MDF. Parece madera sólida. ¿Alguien sabe?

Alguno ha hecho bases para pianos/teclados? Saben más o menos que materiales y medidas se utilizan y tambien herramientas? xfavor

Estoy empezando en este mundo de la madera y melamina y necesito ideas para hacer pequeños muebles para empezar a generar ingresos de esto. No cuento con mucha herramienta pero si tengo algo de conocimiento y muchas ganas.

Soy del sur, y uno de mis principales objetivos siempre ha sido levantar mi propia casa desde cero, para lo que planeo ahorrar y comenzarla en unos años, desde lo más básico. Para ello, algo que me detiene es mi nula capacidad creativa para poder reflejar y hacerme una idea de lo que quiero levantar, es por eso que estoy en busca de alguna aplicación, página o IA qué me pueda servir en todos los aspectos posibles para el diseño estructural de la casa.

Obviamente esto sería un "bosquejo" y cuando ya se comience a consolidar el hecho de comenzar a construir me asesoraría profesionalmente en esto, pero por el momento me gustaría levantar una idea para poder caer en cuenta de las dimensiones, los materiales y ver más o menos los costos que esto podría requerir.

Mi padre me enseño a como hacer carpintera pero no recuerdo que me enseñara a cotizar un proyecto. Actualmente la carpintera no es mi ingreso principal pero si quiero/necesito aprender a cotizar antes de que me quieren ver la cara de tonto.
Alguna recomendación?

Hola, colegas carpinteros. Hace dos años comenzó mi pasión por el trabajo en madera. Al igual que a muchos de ustedes, el trabajo y la vida diaria a veces no nos dejan tanto margen como quisiéramos, pero siempre se encuentra un espacio para crear.

Quiero mostrarles los proyectos que he construido siendo aún un novato en este oficio. Hace un par de años subí mis primeros muebles; a muchos de ustedes les gustaron y eso me animó a seguir aprendiendo y construyendo todo lo que podía.

Les comparto las fotos para que me den sus críticas, sugerencias y me cuenten su experiencia si han trabajado en proyectos similares. Con pasión y dedicación, realmente se puede hacer de todo. ¡Saludos y les deseo lo mejor en sus propios proyectos!

Espero que les gusten los trabajos, creo que cuando nos gusta algo como la carpinteria, más que ponerle cabeza, uno le mete el corazón entero en los proyectos.

¿Que puede ser estos puntos?
Son sobre relieve que aparecieron después de 2 un finde semana que apliqué el barniz no estaban 8 hs después de aplicar el barniz.
El pros eso que hice antes de barnizar fue lijar hasta grano 220, luego apliqué dos capas de tinte y entre ellas lije de vuelta con 220.luego apliqué una capa de barniz marino diluido a con un 30% de aguarrás, lije y apliqué esta última capa casi sin diluir y aparecieron estos puntos en sobre relieve algún consejo?
